cray pot tipper
Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 2014-07-16 08:09
with the cray season slowly approaching I wanted to set the boat up so its more user friendly. I have a 4.5m quintrex fishseeker ( tiller steer ) with 100mm gunnels, I was thinking of mounting a removable cray pot tipper on the left and a winch on the right. I will be using the normal 3/4 slat pots locally and plastics when I go away. water depths ranging anywhere from 6m to 30m.
I was wondering if anyone had a setup on a similar sized boat and how you found it? also roughly how much your setup cost, ive allowed $1400 to get the job done. cheers in advance

I think you will find that the winches they have listed are trailer winches.

Bit off topic...
...but what is it with Mandurah boat dealers? In the last few years, the Suzuki mob on Pinjarra Rd, the Evinrude/Glacier Bay/Bonito mob in Quarry Way, Yunderup Marine, and now Estuary have folded. Is the economy that bad?

Winch position
Stick the winch on the opposite side you want to pull your pots on with its foot controls next to where the pot is going to come up. Forget about a tipper, your boat isn't big enough, just get some 8-10 inch diameter poly sewerage pipe and cut down one side if it so you can open it up and slide it over your gunwhale. This makes the rope slide over very easily without having to do a tight angle.
Once the pot hits the boat its just a case of lifting it up and into the boat with one end resting on the floor and the other on the poly pipe
